• Had a good breakfast at a diner I hadn’t been to before. Golden Pigeon Diner in Bridgeton NJ. Funny name but great food http://bit.ly/cubtpq #
• It’s Thanksgiving in August. I’m roasting a brined turkey and making cornbread stuffing. #
• Where the hell did this weekend go? Oh well, at least the turkey and stuffing turned out delicious. #
• Worst teaser ever, Ice Road Truckers – “Alex has blood on his hands.” Turns out he literally got blood on his hands while helping someone. #

Here in New Jersey when we think of a delicious breakfast, the mind immediately conjures images of a diner. I’m particular partial to a bacon and cheese omelet, with hash browns, some toast and a bottomless cup of diner coffee. However, sometimes you don’t have time to spend in a diner. That’s where my second favorite breakfast place comes into play. I like just about anything from McDonald’s breakfast menu, but the item that most people associate with McDonald’s breakfast is the Egg McMuffin. It was created by Herb Peterson in 1972. After 36 years and more sandwiches sold than he ever imagined, I’m sure, Herb passed away at the age or 89.

Some people’s legacy is on a headstone, Herb’s will live on on the McDonald’s menu board.

Read his obituary on CNN.
